Marry Me

Chapter 7

The next morning, Marinette woke to the sound of her fiancé laughing.

"Adrien," she groaned while rubbing her eyes. "Why are you laughing? And why are you here?"

"To wake my sleeping beauty up. Alya told me there were a few problems and you'd tell me about them in detail. And you look hilarious muttering my name in your sleep"

Marinette blushed and hit a pillow on Adrien's face.

"Not funny! I bet you do the same!"

Adrien shrugged.

"You'll never know."

A small grin appeared on Marinette's face.

"Not unless I'm in the room with you."

Adrien turned red and Marinette realized what she said.

"No! I didn't mean-"

Adrien stopped her with a kiss.

Marinette pulled away.

"Let me brush my teeth and change first."

"Nope," said Adrien pulling Marinette close and snuggling with her.

"Adrien."

He sighed and reluctantly let her go.

"Be quick!"

Adrien was waiting in her bed, looking through her scrapbook when she came out of the bathroom.

Dread filled Marinette.

She glanced at what page he was on and relief flooded through her when she saw that he hadn't passed the page where she talks about how she was Ladybug.

She ran towards him and he only saw a peek of the next page when Marinette yanked the book out of his hands.

"Mari!"

"You're not allowed to touch things without my permission!"

Adrien pouted and gave her his cute puppy eyes.

They didn't work on Marinette.

"Ugh," he complained when he lost their staring contest. "We're going to share everything anyways, why won't you let me looook."

"Because some secrets might be in this book that I don't want to share."

Adrien's eyebrows shot up.

"Ooh, juicy secrets. Spill."

Marinette rolled her eyes and sat down beside him.

"Let's discuss the thing you're here for."

Adrien sighed.

"Fineeeeeeee."

Marinette filled him in on every detail and at the end, she couldn't talk because her eyes were filled with tears.

Adrien looked surprised.

"I can't believe Chloe would do that! Lila sure, but Chloe?!"

Marinette blinked, which was a mistake, because all the tears came splashing down.

"Hey, hey."

Adrien pulled her close and stroked her hair.

"We got this ok? No matter what."

Marinette nodded and wiped the tears away with the back of her hand.

"Let's go talk to Lila 'kay?"
